RTWN010: How To Create Culture & Commitment to RTW with Professor Greg Murphy

Released: Mar 27, 2016

In the second half of my interview with Professor Greg Murphy of La Trobe University we discuss:
The value of offering your workforce top quality medical treatment
Employers need to walk the walk
Senior management must respond to incidents immediately
The "Occupational Bond" - a concept developed by Donald Shrey
Social support is important but it needs to be the right support
The power of respect
The value of creating success stories
Greg recommends Disability Management and Workplace Integration as a great resource for rehabilitation professionals wanting to implement company-wide improvement.
My 3 take-aways from today's episode:
Workplace change needs to come from the top and it takes time
Rehab professionals need to be able to raise a critical question of senior management in a way that shows you are not scared to probe
Even the toughest cases (the bad eggs) can be traced back to some sort of failure by the employer. Learn from it.
Also discussed in this episode is the book To Sell Is Human.
Plus...... RTW Nation received its first ever iTunes review which I read on air.
